Suspended Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren says he’s suing DeSantis in federal court in Tallahassee to get his job back.
The morning of the first Thursday of August inside the headquarters of the Hillsborough County sheriff, backed by a battalion of uniformed officers of the law and cheered on by a laughing, clapping crowd, the Republican governor of Florida likened the twice-elected local Democratic state attorney to the spread of disease.
DeSantis, 44, is one of America’s preeminent and most powerful governors, an overwhelming favorite over Charlie Crist to be reelected next month, and the most likely 2024 GOP presidential nominee not named Donald Trump.
It sits, after all, at the outer edge of the evolution of DeSantis in his still only decadelong electoral life.
